Pyramid organization

A pyramid organizational structure functions following the shape it's named for, with one
leader at the top, a small executive leadership team below, and (1) _______ leading down
tiers of managers
to the bottom team of employees. Each tier of managers manages the tier below, which
distributes the responsibility more evenly. It's designed to ensure each employee is better
served by a manager above, who can provide personal attention to his small team.

Also called the hierarchical organizational structure, the pyramid organizational structure
assumes that information will be passed down the line. So if a CEO meets with the small
leadership team beneath him, those leaders will meet with the small tier of leaders beneath
them, passing the information on, and it will then be shared with the next tier.

This pyramid-like type of organizational structure is often used when many (2) ______
layers of oversight

are needed to ensure compliance and tiered approval of decisions. Decision-making is

sự giám sát oversight. Decision-making tends to be rapid and efficient, with workers empowered to
solve problems at the ground level or bring issues directly to upper management with no

tape between. However, fewer managers can result in less oversight and
supervision to prevent mishaps. Also, there is very little upward mobility without
management tiers to be promoted into.

function; Clear reporting lines.

Matrix organizational structure

managerial accountability and responsibility. In a matrix there are usually two chains of
command, one along functional lines and the other along project, product, or client lines.
The primary reason for adopting the matrix in a large organization can be pinpointed in the
fact that functions and skills are fragmented throughout the organizational structure.
Individual functional departments have great difficulty in solving very large problems
because of a failure to view the total system and a tendency to sub-optimize or solve the
problem within their particular discipline. If a business needs to manage (9) multiple

caused by project personnel playing one boss against the other.
